About
Stan Shadick is an astronomer whose work focuses on the detection and characterization of exoplanets, particularly through wide-field transit surveys. As a key member of the Kourovka Planet Search (KPS) project, Shadick contributed to the discovery of new transiting exoplanet candidates, with a special emphasis on hot Jupiters orbiting stars in the Galactic plane. His most cited paper, "First results of the Kourovka Planet Search: discovery of transiting exoplanet candidates in the first three target fields" (2016, 19 citations), outlines the project’s early successes in identifying potential exoplanets within the Rc magnitude range of 11–14. This work laid the foundation for subsequent follow-up observations and statistical studies of planetary populations. Shadick’s research has advanced our understanding of planetary system architectures and the occurrence rates of close-in giant planets. His contributions to the KPS project demonstrate a commitment to ground-based exoplanet discovery, providing valuable data for the broader astronomical community and inspiring future surveys targeting faint, transit-hosting stars.
